Cepyrlht. 1021, by WHARVES DIRECTOR SMASHES ASSAULT OF HALLON PORT Sproule Answers Vare Council man With Figures Showing s Huge Benefit te City ALL PIERS UNDER LEASE AT PROFIT; MORE NEEDED "Etcry inch of pier space belonging te the city is under yearly lense and paying a geed rental," said Director Sproule, of the Deportment of Wharves, Decks and Ferries. In nnswer te the attack made en, the -city's riverfront system yesterdnv by Councilman "Charlie" Hall, Vare leader. Mr. Hall, In nn attack in Council nn a letter from Mayer Moere, urging Council te provide for permanent city improvements, rclntcd that en his dally trip te the seashore he had noticed that the fine piers built by the city in the last dozen years were nearly always without ships. The sight was "piti ful." snld the Yarc Councilman. He declared the city would need no new piers for the next fifty years. Director Sproule, who has studied the waterfront nnd Its needs for the last thirty-five years, said today he did net wish te reply In a spirit of con troversy, but he felt Mr. Hall's state ments were "n little exaggerated." The Director said : "As a mnttcr of fact there is net a pier owned by the city that Is net under lease at the present time. There Is n general stngnntinn of business, due te conditions ever which we liuve no con trol ; nevei tlieless, every Inch of pier spnee is under yearly lease and paid for. Anether Linn Ashs Sparc "Se true is this that teduj I am having n conference with n gentleman from Ualtliuiiie who wishes te establish a line between Philadelphia and Nor folk, and desires te rent pier space from the city. I'nless I can borrow some space from the Chester Shipping Com pany nt Race street pier, I cannot ac commodate the new line. "Mr. Hall estimated thnt the city piers were net earning - per cent, nnd th.it their nnl revenue came from stor age. It is true that the piers de net show returns ns a Kemi financial invest ment, except for what they meiin te the city's ireiiernl prosperity. It may be true that in leme instances the piyrs nre net paying mere tiinn per cent returns en what they cost the city, but in reckoning their vnlue te the city the fnct must net be overlooked that they bring business here. There nr very few ships that de net leave $i",000 here for every trip. They provide employ ment for hundreds of men, pilots, tug boat men. stevedores. "If j en leinnl the piers merely as n financial liivctmcnt they will make no great showing. Rut herein lies the very rensen for munlclp.il ownership. Pri vnte owners of rlnm-inn right could net see iui gi-eat profit in building and operating piers, ns the law regulates the mn:.lmum wharfage rlinrge. I'ntil the Dep.irtm -it of Wliarve-i. Decks nnd Forties hi crinted in 1007 the only pier dee'.ii,imeiit wns by the railroads. Since then, in spite of what any one may sny, the business of the pert has increased by leaps and bounds. At Least 25 Lines "It is intcrestin-i te note thnt before the city began te build piers you could have counted the foreign lines en the fingers of one hnnd. There were the American Line te Liverpool, the Red Stnr Line te Antwerp, the Atlantic Liife te Londen nnd the old Allan Line te Glagow.

PRICE TWO CENTS GUNS ON TAX BILL; Rewriting by Senate Commit tee or Compromise Required te Stem Onslaught SMOOT PRESENTS 3 P. C. SALES LEVY PROPOSAL Ry CLINTON V. GILBERT Stnir rorrrnpenilrnt Krmlnr Tiibllc I.fdner oiwHelit, ltil, bu Publio Ledger Company Washington, Sept. .10. Republican lenders of the Sennte concede thnt the tax bill will have te be rewritten. Tt will probably have te go back te the Finnnce Committee or it will be amended out of nil recognition en the fleer of the Senate by the combined votes of the agricultural bloc nnd the Democrats. Conferences nre going en today te find out if an ngreement can be reached between the old line Republicans nnd the Republican members of the agri cultural bloc. If such an understand ing Is possible the bill will be with drawn and redrafted in accordance with 'It. If net, the agricultural Sennters will remake the bill with the aid of the Democrats en the fleer of the Senate. The agricultural bloc will held a conference today te see if it can ngree upon n constructive program. At pres ent It is agreed merely te strike out the transportation taxes and te re tain the excess profits tax and te ruise the surtnxes upon laye incomes nbeve the level fixed in the Finance Commit ten bill. New Tax .May Ue Needed The agricultural Scnnteis. with the nld of the Democrats, have the votes te kill the transportation tuxes, and probably te put higher rates upon the larger Incomes, but n law thus amended would be a patchwork, nnd no one knows whether it would produce suf ficient income for tile Government. Seme ether tnx must be found by the farmers te take the place of the trans portation tax. I his situation improves the pros pects of incorporating in the bill a snles tnx nleng the lines of the Smoot manufacturers' tax. Rut it is still unrertain whether the farm Sennters can agree te accept thnt propesnl. Individual Republican Senators be longing te the farm group regartl the Smoot tnx with growing favor. Sen ators like Kenyen, Capper nnd Lndd incline toward it. Rut the bloc, as a whole, fellows the lead of the farm organization, especially the Farm Ru reau. and these organizations have op posed a sales tax in any form. I'nless they can be wen ever te the Smoot tax it Is likely that the bloc will oppose it. Seek for Compremlsa If the bloc would nccept the snlea tnx thfc old line Republicans would be glad te incorporate it in the bill. A compromise with the farmers would be sought upon n program which involved dropping the transportation tux nnd the se-called nuisance taxes upon special articles, the adoption of the sales tnx and the nbnndenmcnt of the excess prof its tax, which would be mnde retroac tive for the j ear 1021. This is what Is being tried today. If the agricultural bloc does net agree te this program the Finance Committee may rewrite the bill en this line nnv way and fight it out en the fleer, with the fnrmen nnd Democrats striving te incnase the higher brackets of the in come tax nnd perhaps te retain excess profits tax. Apparently whnt kind of n tnx law this I'euntr) will hnve depends upon whether the organization Republicans or the Democrats make the highest bid for the support of the ngrit-ulturnl bloc. At prevent the Democrats offer the farmers support upon the two proposi preposi tions te cut out the transportation tax and te Increase the rates upon incomes Continued en Tare Twrhr, Column Three POLICE SEARCHING FOR PRETTY ITALIAN GIRL Went Away With Girl Friend and Man The aid of police has been asked in n senrch for a pretty Itnlinu girl.
